The work of the University College is specifically focused on making sure that your first year is a successful one. Our mission is to equip you with the knowledge and support needed for your success as a WSSU student. From the very first day of your arrival, this area will manage your freshman week experience. In addition, UC is responsible for your professional advisement. Other services include learning support, supplemental instruction, tutoring, and more.
To assist in your transition to college life here at WSSU, you will participate in a week-long event, which all new freshman and transfer students who have earned less than 30 semester hours, are required to attend. This time is specifically designed for your education and enjoyment and to help you “connect” early and successfully to any number of campus resources. Most of the event’s activities are organized around small Legacy Groups to which you will be assigned. These groups are led by upperclassmen who will serve as your guide during the week. This year’s theme is “RAMDITION 2011: The Odyssey Begins.”

31st January 2018 at the Royal Concert Hall (New Auditorium), Glasgow (supporting Martin Hayes Quartet).
Celtic Connections Festival, www.celticconnections.com/.
Country: Ireland. Style: Traditional Irish Folk.
Lineup: Dermot Byrne (button accordion), Luke Daniels (button accordion/g/p/v), Tim Edey (button accordion /g) and guest: Derek Hickey (button accordion).
This was the first ever concert bringing together three (and for the final set of tunes four) button accordion players. It was Tim Edey who invited Dermot Byrne and Luke Daniels to be part of a trio. I have seen Edey many times before (with Julie Fowlis, Brian Finnegan,Tim Dennehy, Lúnasa, Frankie Gavin's Hibernian Rhapsody and Gino Lupari) - always playing guitar - but all before I started taking photos regularly. The same is true of Byrne with Altan and Cooney, Donnelly & Byrne, but I did photograph him as a guest of Iain MacFarlane (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/dermotbyrne,-broth...). I also have photos of Daniels with Cara Dillon and John Dipper (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/lukedaniels,-broth...).

(Feb. 1, 2021) CAPE MAY, N.J. – Business executive and former leader of the U.S. intelligence community and advisor to two presidents – one Democrat, one Republican – Joan Avalyn Dempsey, of Alexandra, Va. and Cape May, N.J., has joined the Cape May MAC (Museums+Arts+Culture) Lessons of History Team. The Lessons of History Team organizes the annual Lessons of History Distinguished Lecture series and includes members of the community, along with Cape May MAC staff and board members. The lecture series began in 2012 and each year brings prominent national speakers to Cape May to speak on important topics of national history.
Dempsey was the speaker for the fifth annual Lessons of History Distinguished Lecture Series on Oct. 9, 2016, “Our Nation’s Security: How Intelligence History Affects the Future,” which drew an enthusiastic and engaged crowd to Cape May Convention Hall.
“Having had the opportunity to speak as part of the Lessons of History lecture series, I am thrilled to have been invited to join the Cape May MAC Lessons of History Team,” Dempsey said. “My husband, Jack, and I love Cape May and are so appreciative of the role Cape May MAC plays in promoting culture, history and the arts in Cape May and in enriching our community.”
Dempsey spent 25 years in the U.S. government as an active-duty U.S. Navy cryptologist, a U.S. Navy Reserve intelligence officer, a civilian employee of the Office of Naval Intelligence, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency. Dempsey held political appointments twice: first, in President Bill Clinton’s administration upon Senate confirmation, she served as the deputy director of central intelligence for community management; and, in President George W. Bush’s administration, as the executive director of the president’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. After retiring from the federal government in 2005, Dempsey went to Booz Allen Hamilton as a partner with P&L responsibility in the firm’s homeland security business. In the decade that followed, she grew businesses throughout Booz Allen’s defense and intelligence sectors and advanced to the rank of senior partner and executive vice president. Since 2017, Dempsey has focused on helping small and midsize companies achieve quality growth in the federal and commercial markets, particularly, in the technology sector. She serves on five corporate boards, two proxy boards, and two commercial advisory boards. She also serves on two government senior advisory boards.
Dempsey was the 2004 recipient of the Security Affairs Support Association William O. Baker Award, an honor she shares with two former secretaries of defense, a U.S. senator, and two former directors of central intelligence. In addition to the Department of Defense Distinguished Civilian Service Award, she is a recipient of the National Intelligence Medal of Achievement, the Intelligence Community Seal Medallion, and The American University Roger W. Jones Award for Executive Leadership.
She was granted an honorary doctorate in 2004 from the Joint Military Intelligence College.

The organization celebrated its 50th year in 2020 and is a regional leader in Cape May cultural and heritage tourism. For information, visit capemaymac.org.

One of the leading classical dancers of India, Madhave Mudgal was born into a family devoted to Indian classical music, and is credite with bringing a greatly refined sensibility to her art form. She has received repeated acclaim int he major cities and dance festivals that have featured her throughout the world.
Apart from establishing a niche in the international dance scene as a soloist, she has also received accolades for her choreographic works. Her commitement to the continuation and augmentation of her chosen art form hs seen her as one of the foremost teachers in her generation, at the Gandharva Mahavidhyalaya, New Delhi
Numerous Awards and honours have come her way, including the sanskriti award, the Padma Shri, the orissa state and central sangeeta natak akademi award, Grande Medaille de la villa by the city of Paris, the Delhi state Parishad Samman, and the Nitya Choodamani. She has also been awarded the Chevalier de l'orde des arts et des lettres by the Govt of France.
Parkaya
Literally, 'The Body of Another' this festival features cross-currents in classical dance. It attempts to expand the boundaries of our performing arts as well as augment existing repertoires meaningfully. Whilst adhering to certain rules and formats, each style also absorbs and imbibes from others, though retaining its essence. In Parkaya, three exemplary dancers work with each other and collaboratively use elements of each other's forms that are visualised by one and executed by another.
It is hoped that this endeavour goes some way in sensitizing one dance form to another and benefitting from this interaction, since there is so much that is shared in the Indian art aesthetic.
Three signature pieces taken from each style form the basis of this festival's repertoire: the Varnam from Bharatanatyam, the Pallavi from Odissi and the Thumri from Kathak.

"Large crowds attend exhibition
The continuing impact of microcomputers in the office and at home resulted in large crowds attending the 7th Newcastle Microcomputing Exhibition at the University last week, according to the exhibition’s convenor, Mr John Dugas.
The 30 exhibitors were kept busy throughout the three days of the exhibition, especially as people were becoming more aware of the advantages of microcomputers.
Mr Dugas said one if the noticeable treads in the past few years was the awareness of young people of mircocomputing hardware and software. This had mainly come about through computer programs in schools as part of the normal curriculum
The younger generation is ‘growing up’ with computers and it appears the older generation does not want to be left too far behind’, Mr Dugas said.
“Many of the visitors at the exhibition were mums and dads who came along for a look because of their interest which obviously had been partly by their children. Many family groups were in attendance and often it was the son or daughter leading the way.
“Overall, the exhibition was very successful in its major aim – awing the community what modern technology is doing in the form of microcomputers- and initial reports show that exhibitors were extremely pleased with the 1990 event, “added Mr Dugas.
A series of free seminars arranged by one of the exhibitors were well attended, particularly by business people.
The winner of a computer system valued at $2,600 donated by Andor Systems of New Lambton was a Year 12 student at Waratah High School. Andrew Weatherstone, of Waratah, is undertaking computer studies for his HSC and has applied for a place in the University’s Bachelors of Computer Science course next year.
Mr Dugas passed on his appreciation to all who were involved in staging the exhibition and said it was a wonderful opportunity for the University to throw open its doors to the community. "

He is on his way to Etsy HQ right now! It's a long swim from here to there, but he'll make it! :D
My little fish is a very flat rock that I painted with acrylics. I used irridescent gold acrylics on his belly and part of his head. I used a combination of irridescent gold and red acrylics to create a very light stripe on his body. You can kind of see this in the photo because of the light he was under.
In person, you would hold him in your hand and tilt him under a light to see the colors shimmer similar to some real fish. :D
Succession is an exhibition of new works by Gaia, Nanook and Sebastian Moratana using the streets and history of Baltimore as material. Stemming from a practice of producing art in the public sphere, the show explores the social dynamic of the local urban environment. Situated in the heart of downtown, the work investigates the development and surface of the city in its simultaneous state of aspiration and decay.
Gaia’s work for Succession exhibits the narrative of Baltimore’s formerly glorious retail corridor - from the evacuation of white flight, to the divestment and subsequent redevelopment of the area.
Nanook’s street practice is geographically re-presented in the gallery through a series of objects amd images. The application of illegal street work becomes a vehicle for the exploration of forming a new urban environment derived solely of abandoned spaces. White Coffee Pot on Franklin and Howard Street which overlapped with a row home at Ashland and Castle is an example of these new formations.
"Stoops" by Sebastian Moratana , is an installation work that seeks to represent the ebb and flow of urban communities. By integrating a physical part of the street in a gallery setting, the objects encourage the viewer to participate in Baltimore's unique stoop culture by sitting, standing and touching the historically iconic "white marble steps." The stoops are at once past, present and future. They have been salvaged from homes, neighborhoods and communities that have ceased to exist. Like those communities, the steps can be rebuilt, but once removed the original spirit is gone. These will never be made again from the local stone; the area quarry now only produces rubble and dust. Only by honoring the past can we attempt to rebuild the community that was lost.
The tour gives a glimpse behind the walls of the monastery and its hidden “power places.” Each of the many rooms of the monastery has its own special significance in the life of the order – Stiftskustos Mag. Harald Rüdiger Ehrl shows the oratory and the crypt.

This is a photograph from the second annual running of the Killyon National School 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held at Hill-of-Down, Clonard, Co. Meath, Ireland at 11:00 on Sunday 21st June 2015. The race is held as a fundraiser for the local primary school. Killyon is actually a parish rather than a town or village. With that the race started and finished at the well known Hill-of-Down where the Royal Canal and Dublin Sligo rail line run parallel and cross under the Kinnegad (Westmeath) to Trim (Meath) road. The 5KM route took in a final KM on the beautiful towpath of the Royal canal and finished outside Moran's Pub beside the Canal. Overall the race was very well organised with excellent stewarding and organisation. There was a great spread of refreshments afterwards and participants and families mingled and chatted beside the canal. The race took place on Father's Day and the Summer solstice making the day with the longest duration of day light. The race attracted very good local support from the surrounding areas with local runners, joggers and walkers in attendance.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the start and finish of the race at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157654448993629
Photographs from last year's (2014) race are also on our Flickr account at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157644887755947

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Honorable Heidi Shyu, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology, and General Dennis L. Via, Army Materiel Command commanding general, visited the 401st Jan. 16-17 to see brigade operations and meet some of the people who are 401st AFSB.
About the 401st:
The 401st Army Field Support Brigade provides Soldiers, Sailors, Airman, and Marines, the tools and resources necessary to complete the mission. If they shoot, drive it, fly it, wear it, eat it or communicate with it, the 401st helps provide it. The brigade assists coalition partners with many of their logistical and sustainment needs. The brigade also handles the responsible disposition of equipment in Afghanistan to support evolving missions. We are the single link between Warfighters in the field, and working through Army Sustainment Command, we leverage Army Materiel Command’s worldwide Materiel Enterprise to develop, deliver, and sustain materiel to ensure a dominant joint force for the U.S. and our Allies.
For More information please visit us online:
The First Presbyterian Church of Lambertville, located at 31 North Union Street, was built in 1854, replacing an earlier building that dating from the 1820's. The church was built adjacent to graveyard holds the burial grounds of many war heroes, including George Coryell, a Revolutionary War lietenant and pallbearer of George Washington, and Sam Holcombe, one of General Washington's spies.
And for the end of the year . . . too much post processing. Once in a while I give in on that and just go wild.
Another foggy, cold, sick day at the in-laws in Sacramento. Feeling a bit better again, but still not well. A quick walk around the yard this morning was the full extent of me getting out of the house. While on that walk I noticed a single apple hanging in the apple trees. A quick bit of hunting revealed this angle which I thought was quite fun. The fog was already making the light pretty cool, I set the WB on the camera to tungsten to exaggerate that effect. In bibble I cropped a bit, put a 1/2-stop strength highlight around the apple, sharpened, and put the border on. Really not all that much. And then I ran it through an Orton Effect filter (which one of these days I will make into a bibble plugin.)
As for the holiday, spent the afternoon watching movies on the couch (and napping), and the evening with the in-laws eatin' pizza, watching South Park, and playing Wii. Not a bad way to be. But I'm beyond exhausted and starting to feel a little worse for the sickness, so I'm outta here before 2009 rings in.
Here's hoping 2009 is better all around. Cheers, folks.

The Cross of Sacrifice was built on a former German pillbox. After it was captured, the pillbox was used to treat wounded soldiers. Those soldiers who did not survive their wounds were buried in a small area behind the pillbox, including four German soldiers.
This picture says so much and means a great deal to me, the hands of Mr Walter Breuning. As I sat and talked with Walter I could not help but to notice his hands in his lap. Not the best shot but the only one I got. I have so much to say about this shot, but I am in between jobs. Have to go....will ad more tommorrow.

For those of you that guessed Turk & Fillmore Streets, you are correct! This image was taken by the URR Photographer, John Henry Mentz (Harry) of the United Railroads Turk & Fillmore St Sub-Station on November 11, 1907. The wrought iron arches were put up to enhance the Fillmore St as a shopping district, they also lit up the intersections at night. The arches were taken down in 1942 to be used as scrap metal for WWII. Check out this image and others at street level on our Historypin channel at www.historypin.com/sfmta
